Abstract
A methodology for developing software intensive systems denoted Cleanroom Software Engineering is presented. The methodology has been developed at IBM and Software Engineering Technology (SET) in the USA, and is currently being adapted and applied to the field of telecommunications by Q-Labs.
The main objective of Cleanroom is to introduce a set of management and engineering techniques which shall form a sound basis for developing zero defect software. The objective of the paper is to give an overview to how Cleanroom can be used and adapted to provide a comprehensive and manageable software engineering process to develop dependable software
systems.
The emphasis in the paper is on the work made to adapt the development methodology to telecommunications. The adaptations consist of two main areas, i.e. a development method and a certification method. The objective of the development method is to capture several different aspects of the system at an early stage by using different description techniques, while the objective of the certification method is to certify the reliability level, instead of as in traditional
testing locate failures.
